Born in the United States amid gunfire, Civil War, the antislavery movement and the feminist fight for suffrage, Mother’s Day was meant to be more than it is today. More than a day where mothers like me are “allowed” to have a lie in, eat cold toast, drink cold coffee, and open cards crafted by earnest children. I can’t help thinking: shouldn’t there be more?
An early iteration of Mothers’ Day (note the collective possessive) was established by abolitionist and suffragist Julia Ward Howe in the 1870s after the end of the civil war. It was never about confining a mother’s purpose to the unpaid service she gives her children and partner.

You need look no further than the voluminous postings on Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday on Twitter. Boomers and Gen Xers alike seem particularly fascinated by the 1980s, recalling their youth or early adulthood in the years before the life-altering arrival of personal computers and the internet. They collect cassette tapes, vinyl LPs, Polaroid cameras, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games which they play on primitive consoles.
Is it a mistake to get too mired in the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can indicate loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present.
